Explained: Why the Apple Watch has been banned, what it means for buyers, Apple, and more
The US International Trade Commission has banned certain Apple Watch models following a complaint by Masimo. Masimo accused Apple of patent infringement related to the Watch's blood-oxygen measuring feature. President Biden chose not to veto the ban, which is now in effect. The ban applies to Apple Watches with the disputed technology, including the Watch Series 9 and Watch Ultra 2 models. Apple has submitted an appeal and is working on software modifications to potentially resume selling the banned models. A settlement with Masimo is also a possibility.
